Patrick Meek (born November 10, 1985) is an American speed skater who represented the United States at the 2014 Winter Olympics.

Patrick Meek was born November 10, 1985, in the Chicago suburb of Evanston, Illinois, into a family of avid speed skaters.

[2][5] Meek graduated from high school in St. Louis in 2004 and moved to Utah to further his speed skating career.

[5] He elected to pursue distance events, realizing he did not have the proper physical characteristics for sprints and was well suited psychologically for long races.

2010 was a different story – Meek expected to make the team and was devastated when his personal best time came up short.

"[3] At the 2012–2013 National Championships, Meek turned in a personal best time of 13:26.06 in the 10,000 meters en route to a second-place finish.

[7] A few days later, Meek turned in a personal best time of 13:23.16 in the 10,000 meters, but came up 0.39 seconds short of the only qualifying spot in the event, placing third.

When several skaters from other nations withdrew from the 10,000 meters, Meek was selected from the alternate list to participate in the event.

[3] As part of a sponsorship deal, Meek works as a valet at the Waldorf Astoria Park City when not skating.
